Reducing data usage quantities

Most web-sites are not speed-optimized. File sizes for images are often far larger then necessary and text type files such as HTML, Javascript and CSS contain many unnecessary space characters and full 8 bit wide uncompressed UTF-8/ASCII character coding.

Protocol: An optimized protocol, which is the basis for HTTP/2.0, is used between the customer's browser and the Nynex proxy server farm.

The result is significant bandwidth savings for both users and operator.

Accelerating requests

skyZIP™ multiplexes a number of requests and response streams in parallel over a single TCP connection to reduce the TCP handshake overhead. Additionally it is provides higher throughput by removing the TCP slow-start phase.

Overall improvements in download speed for web pages in already TCP accelerated environments is around 100% and on non-TCP accelerated systems is up to 1000%.

Secure connections (HTTPS) are routed from your browser to the destination by saving one roundtrip per DNS request.

DNS lookups are performed by the proxy servers, so there is no need for your browser to wait for responses, thus also reducing the cpu load on the modem.

Security and encryption of the data flow

Harmful web pages are blocked automatically at the Nynex data center - this will save bandwidth, increase the speed as well and will keep your computer away from phishing web-sites.

As satellite data can be physically received all over the footprint, encryption is the only possibility to secure communication from the remote to the hub.

The skyZIP™ browser add-on encrypts all web browsing traffic using TLS 1.2 up to the Nynex data center - even for unencrypted web-sites.
